Fishing is FUN!!!










Kids have been dying to go fishing, so off we went to the Nature Park in Rexburg to see how the fishing was there.  All the kids loved it of course!!  Even if they got skunked....they enjoyed being outside, playing on the play ground and worming the hooks.   Earlier in the Spring they had caught a turtle, so we also returned him to his home, I think he was pretty happy!!!  Karli has always been tomboyish, and she was so brave to cut her worm in half and squish him on the hook.  After a few hours of catching NOTHING, Layton was getting pretty tired and ready for a nap.  So I took him home to get a nap, Justice was there to make sure he got a good one. The rest of the kids wanted to stay longer and keep trying, so I took Kason and Karli with me.  The boys, Austin, Ethan and Ryley stayed  I grabbed some pizzas and drinks and we ate at the park.  It was finally time to go, Justice had to get to work and the kids were bummed!!  Somedays, just aren't good fishing days.....but it was still a good day to try!!!  Later in the week Travis took them fishing again, they had better luck.  I think I was the bad luck charm.  Dad is a better fisherman anyways, I am too chicken to touch anything!!!

Happy Birthday to Karli!!!




We can not forget the Birthday girl!!  With all the excitement having Grandbambi and PapaBear visit, we have to remember Karli!!  She got to celebrate her 9th Birthday with Grandbambi & PapaBear and it was such a fun day!!  We started the day with swimming, then we headed home to open presents and eat cake.  Later in the evening we ate a wonderful dinner at Pizza Pie Cafe.  Karli is a sweet and talented young lady, and we love her dearly!!  Happy Birthday to Karli!!!

GrandBambi & PapaBear





We had a wonderful visit with David and Bambi Ruud, Layton's Biological Paternal Grandparents.  They visited from June 1-5th.  They stayed at the Marriott in Rexburg and came over each day to spend time with us.  We also went to their hotel a couple of times to swim, we played games, roasted smores,  and had lots of laughs!!  We are so happy to have met them and get to know them, they are wonderful people with lots of love!!  We are so blessed to have Layton and to have added to our extended family.
